Description of problem: DVD drive: LG, HL-DT-ST DVDRAM # GCA-4080N The drive is properly installed, jumper set to master. Bios setting tried with auto and all DMA mode settings. Original firmware A106, updated to A109. The burner works with all media under Win XP even before the firmware upgrade. With Linux FC5 or FC6, it is not as cooperative. CD +/- R and RW read, write and erase well. With DVD +RW media and Nautilus write to disk, there is an error message that Asks for writeable – media Exchanging the Plus for Minus media, I am presented with an error box And no further information with FC5 or FC6. With CentOS 4.4, I get the same results, but the error with the Minus media Also offers some details: :-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=7h/ASC=27h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error /dev/hdc: FEATURE 21h is not on, engaging DAO... WARNING: /dev/hdc already carries isofs! Back to FC5 or FC6, I get this: [root@Imperial-Command myfedora]# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=FC-5-i386-DVD.iso -speed=2 :-( /dev/dvd: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 10 Normaly, I would conclude this to be a firmware error. However, this very same disk works fine when I reboot to Win XP. Issuing the same growisof command above, then dvd+rw-mediainfo Produces these results: [root@Imperial-Command myfedora]# dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd INQUIRY: [HL-DT-ST][DVDRAM GMA-4020B][A109] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 10h, DVD-ROM Speed Descriptor#0: 02/404849 R=2335KB/s W=2117KB/s Speed Descriptor#1: 02/404849 R=2335KB/s W=1411KB/s Speed Descriptor#2: 02/404849 R=2335KB/s W=706KB/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 92h, DVD+RW book [revision 2] Legacy lead-out at: 2295104*2KB=4700372992 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: complete Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: complete Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: complete Track Start Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 2295104*2KB FABRICATED TOC: Track#1 : 14@0 Track#AA : 14@2295104 Multi-session Info: #1@0 READ CAPACITY: 2295104*2048=4700372992 [root@Imperial-Command myfedora]# Note, all of my DVD RW media has been written at least once.

seems to be a dvdrtools issue
which version of dvd+rw-tools?
I had FC5 running and rpm -q reports: dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-6.2.2 However after the update, I get the same results with the newer rpm: dvd+rw-tools-7.0.0.fc5.4 If I use + media, it asks for - media. If I give it - media, it fails to recognize it as above. I think FC6 shipped with 6.1-4.1. That as well as the most recent FC6 7.0.0.fc6.4 give the same results.
I would say: "drive not supported" ... sry..
